Jeopardy! recap for Sept. 11 - encore from Jun. 12, 2020

Introducing today's contestants for this summer's final encore episode:

- Matt, a sports update anchor from New York, goes to lots of big sporting events;
- Kelly, an animation producer from California, loves classic entertainment; and
- Zach, an attorney from Virginia, who clerked with his wife for the same judge. Zach is a three-game champ with earnings of $65,674.


Zach missed all three DDs, and as a result had to settle for second going into FJ with $10,000 vs. $13,400 for Kelly and $7,400 for Matt.

DD1, $800 - WORDS & PHRASES - "He who pays the piper holds the reins" is an example of this, incorrectly fusing 2 symbolic comparisons (Zach lost $1,600 from his score of $3,200.)

DD2, $2,000 - COLORFUL CITIES - This former mining town was Colorado's territorial capital (Zach lost $4,000 from his total of $10,400 vs. $9,000 for Kelly.)

DD3, $1,600 - TROOP-POURRI - This word for a guerrilla was used in the Boer War, in WWII & as the title of a 1985 Schwarzenegger movie (Zach lost $2,000 from his score of $8,000 vs. $9,800 for Kelly.)

FJ - AUTHORS - On this woman's passing in 2019, Oprah Winfrey called her "a magician with language, who understood the power of words"

​​​Zach and Matt were correct on FJ, with Zach adding $9,995 to win with $19,995 for a four-day total of $85,669. Note that Zach will not return on Monday, but will defend his title at a later date.

Organ failures: The players missed clues about the topmost part of the brain (cerebrum),the organs encased in a sac called the pleura (lungs) and the organ used in a term associated with bad temper (spleen).

​Correct Qs: DD1 - What is mixed metaphor? DD2 - What is Golden? DD3 - What is commando? FJ - Who was Morrison?
